Re: How to get my sections back
Nothing wrong with the cache the only error message I have from php is:
The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results.
The mbstring is there its just throwing up this error.
Really stumpped now!

Textpattern doesn’t use the mbstring function. Try disabling all plugins.
If that doesn’t help, can you post a screenshot of what your sections tab looks like?

Re: How to get my sections back
That’s a phpMyAdmin error you’ve posted.

The sections tab is there, but when you click on it, it just loads a blank page. I don’t understand why it would have died on itself.

Any plugins in your installation — or was that a plain vanilla TxP reinstall that gave the blank tab?
Edited to add: it just might be a plugin that’s broken if your webhost upgraded your server’s php installation from version 4 to 5.

Re: How to get my sections back
Haven’t got any plugins installed its a plain old install. Its on our internal windows server running apache and php 5. We built the server last thursday and all was fine till tuesday and all of a sudden the sections now just loads a blank page.
As I said I’ve reinstalled txp and imported and exported the database from the server to my local mac and it works fine on my mac the section loads as normal.

I’d like to see both a screenshot and the HTML source of that blank page.

Re: How to get my sections back
Look at the webserver logfiles. How does your request for the section tab look in the webserver access logs?

This is coming up in the access log

and this in the erro log

Re: How to get my sections back
Strange, the error log timestamps don’t correspond to the section request you posted. However, you could try upping the memory limit in php.ini — but I don’t know what the path to that will be on a windows server.
Look for the line that reads…
memory_limit = 8Mand change it to something like…
memory_limit = 16MThen see if that get’s rid of your errors.
